Calibre frequently crashes on my system, regardless of version. After a lot of time and labor in editing metadata (downloading metadata, downloading cover, etc.) I often lose all that work when a crash occurs. Is there some way to manually save my work more frequently? A command that will force a save of all recent changes?

Thank you.

Something is odd/wrong with your system. Crashes are rare.
If you have Roboform, visit the Calibre FAQ

Saves happen when you depart a record: OK/Next/Previous
If you are losing more than the current record, then your system is buffering (very oddly)
